Is this 'alive' in your countries in terms of visibility? Dutch NOS sure has some articles about it on their website, but in terms of actually showing stuff, it seems like it'll stay with a few minutes in the daily sports news and probably a daily live stream on their website, which you can't watch on-demand (or even pause) and so you either watch it live, or you don't watch it at all.

 

Mostly feels like NOS is kind of ignoring it, which makes me curious about other countries. Curious in the sense that hopefully there will be good options to see especially stuff like athletics, swimming, track cycling (and of course road, but we've got Belgian TV for that no doubt) and possibly rowing.

:IRL national broadcaster RTE has 3 hours live coverage today on RTE 2 (FTA channel that shows all sport). Coverage of the rowing heats currently going on are available on a secondary News channel and via stream on their player/website too.  

 

Tomorrow they're live for 5 hours. Next Monday (random day) they're showing 7 hours live.

 

For context they didn't cover the World Athletics championship (or world swimming, world rowing in previous years, world gymnastics etc)

I am not sure how many care about this, but I think it will be interesting how this European medal table will go without Russia.    European Championships + Aquatics European Championships m

very much alive...

 

our public TV (RAI) is live all day long on Raisport+ HD and also in the afternoon (2 p.m. - 8 p.m.) on Rai2 HD...

 

then they have additional feeds on Raiplay (the OTT service)...

 

the Acquatics Euros are also live on sky Italia for the first time (so, double coverage)...

 

I think the only discipline that is not going to be broadcasted at all is BMX Freestyle (and I don't blame any of our media for ignoring that farce)...

RTVS schedule indicates they will broadcast All Athletics sessions, M Cycling Road Race, M Triathlon race, Finals of Canoeing Sprint, a couple of Track Cycling sessions and for some reason also Sports Climbing including todays qualifiers lol, In replay they have both MTB and Table Tennis finals.

 

No rowing, BMX and Beach Volley

 

but quite hard to believe it, since the hockey U20 WCh have obviously priority and they pretend broadcasting all games from Quarterfinals on, For example the Wednesday 17th, there all 4 QF scheduled, so the Evening Athletics sesiion will have just some 30 minutes highlights of the day probably

BMX Freestyle is fully covered by Eurosport on their player.

I firmly believe Europe does not need any multi-sports games. European Championships across many sports are far too competitive and can stand on their own two feet, and incorporating them into a bigger event does more damage than good, especially when participation restrictions come in.

 

Sure, Pan American Games function well with 8 slalom canoeists, 8 wrestlers or 6 sail boats per event, but that just can't fly in Europe without turning the event into some YOG-like joke.

I think that’s a good point. If you’re going to have a 4700 athlete overall cap, then the small nations will miss out. As we know in many sports, it is actually important for several reasons to be ranked 10 not 11, 19 not 21 etc etc

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
